This woodland house
overlooking Wapogasset Lake had served as the family get-away cabin for many
years. But with two tiny bedrooms and no
real kitchen, the owners found it a struggle to invite friends out to stay, let
alone enjoy their leisure time with their growing sons. The second floor addition provides two
generous bedrooms, along with a much-needed second bathroom and good storage,
plus a sleeping loft overlooking the newly-vaulted living room. The arrays of skylights permit views up into
the canopy of trees and provide glimpses of stars after dark. The vertical wall of windows in the living
room mimic the trunks of tall trees just outside. Downstairs, an efficient kitchen occupies the
previous south bedroom, creating space for dining overlooking the lake. The projecting second floor west bedroom provides
rain protection for the front door and its small terrace.
